    From the entrance to the wild romantic Suren Valley, the hiking trail winds diversely along the Engelberger Aa. After a short break at Alp Stäfeli, the previously comfortable path turns into an alpine trail that requires surefootedness. Arriving at the cozy SAC hut, you ask yourself: stay overnight, enjoy a beautiful sunset, or hike back (the same way).

    Author’s recommendation

    At Alp Stäfeli you will be served with traditional Swiss dishes and a fine "Älpler-Kafi".
